Woohoo! High school graduation rates at record high

Check these out, too...

Since the 1970s, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has been estimating the percentage of teens who graduated high school on time (that is, within four years of entering 9^th grade). And right now, we’re at an all-time high: 78.2 percent of students graduated with a regular or advanced high school degree during the 2009-2010 school yeah. That’s an increase of more than 2 percent. Woohoo!

And before you start thinking, “Yeah, but what about the other 20-something percent of students? Are one-fifth of all U.S. high schoolers dropping out?” know this: the NCES estimates that the annual dropout rate has decreased from 4.1 percent to 3.4 percent. And that’s pretty darn good in our book.

Keep up the good work, girls, and remember that you can achieve anything you put your mind to. What are your education goals? Tell us in the comments!

mod Mod Mod MOD MOD MOD!!
my best friend ever just found the legit answers to an extra credit assignment online and filled out the entire assignment without even trying and using the answers from online. Shes gonna get full credit, and now she wants me to cheat too! i know cheating is wrong, but i really need the extra credit. What do i do??

Hey girlie, cheating is never a good idea. Even if you get full credit for it, you won't feel good about yourself after. Do the best you can on the assignment and ask for help if you need it.

My education goals are doing my best in school and college so that I have a degree and it will be easier for me to get a job.

MOD! MOD! MOD! I'm scared that my crush is going to ask me out, but I'm too young to date. If he does and I say no, I'm scared he'll either not want to be friends anymore or ask someone else out.

Hey girlie, explain that to him. Tell him that you're not ready for more right now but you really like him and you still want to be friends.

My 8th grade history teacher said that there's a statistic that states that about 1 million illiterate high schoolers are given their diplomas each year.
